For the better part of two seasons now, Darius Miller has teased and tantalized both UK coach John Calipari and Big Blue fans alike with his at times seemingly limitless ability.

Miller hit his first six 3-point attempts on his way to a career-high 22 points in Saturday's win over South Carolina. His six three's were also a career-high.

Miller did it again on Saturday, knocking down his first six 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 22 points to lead five players in double figures as the Wildcats took South Carolina to the woodshed early, scoring the game's first 15 points in a 90-59 runaway at Rupp Arena.

Miller, who also grabbed nine rebounds, scored 16 of his 22 points and buried four of his six treys in the first half as the Cats raced out to a 27-4 lead in the game's first 10 minutes. UK hit on its first six 3-point attempts and for the game shot 11 of 20 (55 percent) beyond the arc.

South Carolina's first points didn't come until the 13:57 mark of the first half and the 31-point margin of defeat was the Gamecocks' worst this season.

But Miller wasn't the only one who turned in a monster game. Terrence Jones notched his tenth double-double of the season and fourth in his past six games with 19 points and 12 boards. Brandon Knight added 12 points and nine assists while Doron Lamb (18) and DeAndre Liggins (11) also hit double figures in scoring.

South Carolina's leading scorers Bruce Ellington and Sam Muldrow combined for just 13 points on 3-of-17 shooting. In two games against the Cats this season, Ellington, who is averaging 13.9 points on the season, is a paltry 4 of 22 from the field.

Miller showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman under then-coach Billy Gillispie and Calipari raved about Miller's ability when first arriving on campus in the spring of 2009.

Last season, with scoring options like John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson, Miller wasn't counted on very much to score, but was thought to provide a glimpse into the crystal ball with a then career-high 20-point outburst against Wake Forest in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in New Orleans.
